About a week ago (Sat 09 Dec 2017), Zap Thai by Sab Sab+ held their outlet
grand opening at their pioneer branch at Taman Klang Utama. That time admin boh
eng (not free), so couldn’t make it. Then last Friday evening, so ngam admin got
pass by their shop (along Persiaran Sungai Keramat, just off Jalan Kapar), so
admin decided to kaypoh2 abit and drop by their shop to Testing 123 their food.

Since this is first time admin go to
their restaurant, therefore admin was quite worried that cannot find their
place, because their shop is actually quite a distance away from town area
(roughly 7km / 15 mins drive from Klang Lembaga Tabung Haji building). But
nasib baik got WAZE, so just need to look for “Zap Thai”… #ProblemSolved!!!!

First impression when reach their restaurant,
it is very clean and relaxing. The restaurant is quite spacious, which means
there’s a lot of space between each other (not like those Kopitiam outlets,
where everyone has to sit so near each other macam sardine). They also have
some nice wooden decorations put up to create that “zen” effect. Most important
of all….the place is FULLY AIR-CONDITIONED, which is the most important
criteria if you are planning to eat spicy food, LOL! :p

Spacious
interior!

Wooden
décor creates that “Zen” effect

The menu has quite a selection of decent
Thai dishes…quite a number of dishes to choose from! Since admin is new to this
place, therefore we had a tough time deciding which dishes to order. So at
last, we just ask the taukeh to kai siaw (recommend) their most popular dishes
to us.

The first items to arrive at our table
are the drinks. We had the Thai Milk Tea, Thai Green Milk Tea, Thai Coffee and
Thai Lemongrass.

Thai Milk Tea is basically the normal
milk tea in Thai style, while Thai Green Milk Tea is almost the same as Thai
Milk Tea, but using green tea instead as the base. Thai Coffee is basically kopi,
but with Gula Melaka to give it a
more unique taste! Thai Lemongrass is basically serai drink served with a slice of
lemon, which is perfect as a refreshing detoxing drink!

Out of the 4 drinks above, admin personally
recommend the Thai Green Milk Tea and Thai Lemongrass…MUST TRY! And the Thai
Coffee with the unique Gula Melaka taste as well!

According to the taukeh, all their
drinks are self-made using their secret recipe.

MAIN
DISHES:

Fried
Chicken with Thai Herbs (non-spicy)

Fried Chicken with Thai Herbs punya sos

The first dish to arrive at our table
was the Fried Chicken with Thai Herbs. This is basically chicken fried with
ginger, garlic and some Thai herbs and spices to give it that wonderful
fragrance. This dish comes with some cabbage salad dressing.

This fried chicken is not the usual ayam
goreng that you would expect…while other fried chicken dishes focuses on the
crispiness of the skin, this one focuses on its fragrance instead. Therefore,
do not expect this dish to give all that crispy *krup krap* sound in your
mouth.

Zap Thai’s fried chicken has a unique
taste to it and is definitely worth trying after you already sien (bored) with
eating the same ayam goreng McD all the time! :p

Thai
Fried Kailan with Salted Fish (non-spicy)

Next dish we got was the Thai Fried Kailan
with kiam hu (salted fish). This wan you all must try….the kailan really CRUNCHY!
If the fried chicken above no *krup krap* sound, this wan GUARANTEE got sound!

Thai
Style Stuffed Omelette (non-spicy)

The Thai Style Stuffed Omelette was
next. As its name suggests, it’s basically egg omelette fried with onions with
some cabbage salad dressing underneath the omelette.

From the picture above, the omelette looks
quite flat, but in reality, it’s actually quite thick and fluffy! If you have
kids at the table, this dish is a MUST ORDER! The kids will love you for this
wonderful golden-brown omelette dish!

Lime
Steam Squid (spicy)

Then came all the SPICY dishes…. JENG
JENG JENGGGG!!!!

First up, Lime Steam Squid! For all the sotong
lovers out there, this dish is a MUST TRY! Fresh, juicy and tender sotong
steamed with cili padi and garlic… all in a tantalizing sour + super spicy sauce!
This wan guarantee will boost your appetite until level 999!

Deep
Fried Fish Keang Som Thai Style (spicy)

Next up, Deep Fried Fish in Keang Som
Thai Style! Keang Som is actually a Thai word for “Sour Curry”. This dish has a
mild sour and spicy taste. The fish used for this dish is fresh and nicely
fried! In terms of taste, this dish is quite close to our Malaysian Asam Pedas
style of cooking.

Honestly, this Keang Som dish is
something new for us, as we have never tasted it before. It’s worth a try if
you are the type who likes to taste something new!

Tom
Yam Seafood (spicy)

Last but not least…. Tom Yam Seafood! No
Thai meal will be complete without the usual dose of Tom Yam Gong!

What we love about this dish is its
presentation! It arrived at our table with the flame still burning brightly! Definitely
will keep the kids entertained for the next 2-3 minutes, LOL!

According to the tauke, the tom yam
paste that they used for this dish is their own creation, not those ready-made
ones from supermarket. This is to ensure customers get to enjoy the
authenticity of their Tom Yam dish.

However, we find that their Tom Yam dish
is not sour and spicy enough. It also requires more serai to give it that right
taste. Upon informing the taukeh, he assured us that they will make further improvements
to this dish in the near future. For this, we give them TWO THUMBS UP!

DESSERT:

Red
Ruby – Before adding in santan

Red
Ruby – After adding in santan

After eating all the spicy dishes, time
to put out the fire….so admin ordered their Red Ruby dessert. This is basically
a tong-sui (dessert) dish with the usual sago, atapchi and some super-sweet
nangka! This was the perfect dessert for closing a wonderful Thai meal!

Dessert!

Other than Red Ruby, they also have
other dessert, such as Pumpkin Custard, Mango Sticky Rice, Tako, and more!

CONCLUSION:

A meal fit for 4 pax!

Overall, Zap Thai is a decent place for
those who are looking for authentic Thai food. This place is fully
air-conditioned, which means it is perfect for families with kids, and even
elders.

Admin did not get the chance to taste
every dish on their menu, as our stomachs can only take that much food. However,
we were convinced that they used fresh ingredients to prepare their dishes,
which to us is a plus point! Also, the fact that they take the effort to prepare
their own ingredients for their food and drinks (instead of buying the
ready-made ones from supermarket) means they are really serious in dishing out
authentic Thai food.

If you would like to give Zap Thai a
try, admin will HIGHLY RECOMMEND the
Lime Steamed Squid, Fried Chicken with Thai Herbs, Thai Fried Kailan with
Salted Fish and Thai Style Fried Omelette. Not forgetting the Deep Fried Fish
in Keang Som Thai Style with its own unique Thai taste!

For this round punya Jalan-Jalan Cari
Makan expedition, admin can say that we are very satisfied with Zap Thai’s offerings
and services.
